Tottenham were being linked with the more famous names of Philippe Coutinho and Paulo Dybala in the last few days of the summer transfer window, but Argentina midfielder Giovanni Lo Celso looks a much better signing for manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The deal agreed with Real Betis for Lo Celso on deadline day is a one-year loan with a €60 million option to buy next summer. That should allow the 23-year-old to show he has the versatility, as well as the technical and physical gifts, to be a big success in the Premier League. While Spurs are able to keep their money for next summer's budget if it all works out.
